I received a great opportunity to review the SQL Server prepkits produced by uCertify - The fastest way to IT Certification.
My review began with the prepkit for exam 70-228: SQL Server 2000 Administration. This preparation kit I found to be a very good resource in learning and practicing the exam objectives. It also re-enforces some of the DBA daily tasks that we perform as routine that helps prepare to sit for the exam. Another great asset is for the new professionals who enters the world of a DBA, he/she can review the exam objectives and apply them in their own environment to practice further for practical usage. For example, Installing and Configuring SQL Server 2000 is a normal task for a seasoned DBA, which is test in the exam. This exam, 70-228: SQL Server 2000 Administration, is one that is required to become a SQL Server 2000 certified DBA so I personally believed that this would be a good return on investment for your career and your certification path. For a professional or beginner it will be an asset. It allows you to assess your skill sets to adapt your preparation path.
I would like to also point out the interface. It is very user friendly and intuitive. You have nine (9) choices of exams to choose from which includes creating a custom exam to increase your learning style, improve on your weak areas and track your progress. Ucertify also provides additional resources to assist in building your understanding and studying.
On top of the user friendly exam interface, different exam styles, and additional resources, Ucertify offers a Money Back Guarantee! and a free trial.
I have learned that some times you need an additional study resource along with practical experience with the product and Ucertify gives you a little of both in their style of questions.
